Stephen Kenward knows the world is ending. He's also the only one who can stop it-but no one believes him. Labeled delusional and insane, Stephen is locked away in Pandora Institute, a nightmarish labyrinth of an asylum where cruelty reigns and nothing is as it seems. Branded with the number 3 by a mysterious patient, Stephen quickly learns that his new home holds dark secrets.
As his mind unravels, he begins to question the reality of his mission. Is the world really ending, or is he losing his sanity? And even if he could stop the apocalypse-should he?
Book I of the Proof of Existence series questions everything as Stephen falls further and further into a mystery that has been thrust upon him, one that threatens to not only destroy him, but everyone. Dark and tragic, this first book establishes the ominous tone that follows the rest of the series. In the depths of the Pandora's secrets that engulfs Stephen, philosophical musings become his constant companions. Fear and love, controllers and creators, these dichotomies swirl around him, demanding answers to questions that cut to the core of existence. The dialogue crackles with a distinct authenticity, each character a living, breathing entity with their own quirks and complexities. Stephen's journey is not just a descent into mystery, but a profound exploration of the human psyche, leaving readers grappling with questions that echo long after the final page is turned.
